Here's what people are saying aboutThe Art of Voice Acting

I started using "The Art of Voice Acting" when I was teaching a Voice and Diction class at my acting school, and after reading [the] book, I restructured it into a "Voice Acting" class. The amount of free web links inside is worth more than all the Voice Acting books on the market. I understand why it's considered the bible of Voice Acting. I have recommended it as "The" Voice Acting resource for my students and fellow aspiring voice actors ever since. I have [this] book to thank for the foundation of my training. Thanks Jim for inspiring me to pursue my Voice Acting dream!David Letendre, voice actor and coach

The Art of Voice Acting is the only book on voiceoverthat is used as a major theater arts text bookby dozens of colleges and universities in the U.S. and Europe. And in December 2019, AOVA will be published in Chinese!

If there was ever a voice actors' bible, this is it! James Alburger covers all the bases. From the business of voiceover to performance techniques, demos, marketing, and more. I've read it cover to cover multiple times... and have several copies as well! James and his book have helped my career immensely. No matter what stage of this great career you are at right now, "The Art of Voice Acting" is a must read. Chuck Davis, voice actor - www.chuckdaviscreative.com

As I have always said: your book, "The Art of Voice Acting," was what triggered my VO career, inspired me and in many ways got me to where I am today. And when I was invited for presenter at VOICE 2008 as the first Scandinavian voice actor it was a confirmation and important milestone, apart from the sheer joy of being among so many professional colleagues.

Since then, I have been working steadily, have clients in 20+ countries worldwide, been voted Sweden's most Solid Voice and got my first Manley Ref C microphone last year. Your "A-B-C" principle is one of my favourite tools, as well as "Tell me, don't sell me". So, thank you James Alburger and the Voice Acting Academy!Stefan Chinell Voiceovers - www.swedvoice.se
